The Miracles of Jesus Christ: Healing Malchus' Ear (Part One)
Bible Study by Martin G. CollinsIn the Garden of Gethsemane, amidst great agony and the betrayal of Judas, Jesus faced arrest by a multitude sent from the chief priest. Despite the overwhelming stress and cruelty of the moment, He chose to show mercy by miraculously restoring the ear of Malchus, a servant of the high priest, after Peter had rashly cut it off. This act of outgoing love and faithfulness, performed even as He submitted to His enemies, demonstrated the grace of God in action during the most trying of circumstances. Jesus' merciful miracle, His last before crucifixion, stands as a profound example of glorifying His Father by adhering to His will, regardless of personal suffering or justification for self-focus.
